“executed” - what an interesting choice of words

[Leisler]

.25 auto? What to fend off attack chihuahuas?

Looks like the Canadian gene pool just improved a bit.

I would think that this was not that innocent. I would think these guys were involved in nefarious activities. DRUGS. In our culture, trouble does not come looking for you unless you ask for it. Swim with the sharks and expect to be bitten.

Sure they have not so innocent kidnapping, a huge industry, but this does not seem to have the hallmarks of kidnapping...

This criminal activity did not meet the abduction/ ransom criteria.

Drug dealing; So easy a caveman could do it!

Sissy Canadians, messing hard rock killers.....

[Gay State Conservative]

It sounds as if a couple of small-time drug smugglers got offed by the big-time drug smugglers.

Never bring a .25 caliber to a cannon fight,I always say.

[Clemenza]

Correct. I keep thinking of Springsteen’s “Meeting Across the River.”

[GOPsterinMA]

I remember an article from a gun magazine 20+ years ago that did a study on the .25 caliber. The authors stated a baseball thrown at 30 mph can do more damage (internally, IIRC) to a person than the .25 did.

The .40 cal is very nice. Seems to be a good mix of stopping power and high carrying capacity.

Thanks for the ping, Swinney Switch.

I am not impressed with this part..."Nguyen Minh Trung Do, 26, was critically wounded with a shot to his neck and is still receiving medical treatment in B.C."

Note that the side of the second of the above type was found SQUADRON SILVER PISTOL CALIBER 25.

Que?

[Lazamataz]

SQUADRON SILVER PISTOL CALIBER 25.

Perhaps it will help to know it was a FIREARM ISSUE SQUADRON SILVER PISTOL CALIBER 25 AUTOMATIC MAGAZINE-ACCEPTING SEMI HANDGUN ONE.

[Charles Martel]

Ah, yes. Makes sense much now more.

And they were both outside the building after checking that their vehicles had their tires struck the front left side. For it happened that a patrol observed, however retreated to note that both were complaining of the problem ... when the officers were immediately a man with such attributes approached to run for Douglas.

Just happened to be there eh?

Canuck drugpunks get whacked by Mexican drugpunks...

Darwin at work...?

[MD_Willington_1976]

Go to downtown East side Vancouver BC after dark... sissies.. yeah right.

You don’t know the half of what people deal with in Vancouver when it comes to drugs...

How’d you like to find out a class mate was run through a chipper shredder?

That is such a random asseveration. the were involved in drugs, there are over 70,000 people killed in the US a year by fire arms including many Canadians.

It is a place to keep one’s wits.

Thanks for the ping.
